How about absospam at 2 ticks instead of 5? Then your debuffs will be running all the time. I thought that this was the... most economic at this low level?

I really dont have a hard time killing most classes on my WH, yes healed groups are harder to kill but welcome to any PvP game learn to assist or GTFO. There isnt a class besides SW/Squigg that can kill a healed class solo but even then that is 7 seconds of every 1-2 mins and its not guaranteed. The groups that win SCs right now assist or overload heals with aoe those are the two options.

Most classes don't shine until t3-t4~ healers rule lower brackets.

I havent leveled WH yet since there are my favourite classes to work on(RP,IB,WL), but I think WH should be able to compete the same as WE in T2.
Tactics: Brute force + jagged edge for burst or Brute force + absorb bubble for survivability.

Since WE has no other reasonable option I use Brute force + jagged edge.

I suggest dot up your target first by Fervor(3 stacks) which is equivalent to WE´s Envenomed Blade.
Witch AA hits, dots and jagged edge procs target should be somewhere from 75 to 50% hp. If its healer and if he didnt detaunt you yet his is doomed. Use silence for 4 second and burst it down with Torment + absolution.
You should be fine even with lvl 19 green gear. Just try to change engage tactic and fine which one fit for T2 the most :-)

Cya on battlefield.

And yep, this is true. WE + WH have no dmg/crit dmg increase mechanics and tactics till T3, so dont expect any T2 battlefield domination :-)

Ya I think I was just having a bad day in sc's which gave birth to this thread, destro seems to organize much better in pug groups than order. I've found that I can infact pick of healers that stray too far back, the key being the perfect timing of silence. Obviously before they are able to get detaunt off, but sometimes using it immediately after the opener doesn't give you enough setup to kill them, perfect scenario being you are able to get a few torments off first, then silence, then abso as soon as silence finishes for the heal debuff.

Also as you say, I notice that even with one other competent slayer or wh assisting on the same target you can do wonders, or even a BW timing a good high point absolution to go off the same time as one of their boiling bloods, and them getting a fireball in the same instance as well can be devastating.
